Chapter 1280: Anecdotes of the Americas (8)

It's not the same as Manhattan and Ontario, and even as far away as Quebec City.

Jinshan City (San Francisco) on the east coast was built relatively late, so many infrastructure constructions were not completed, so the area around Jinshan at this time was still in full swing of construction.

Because of Zhao Hongyu's plan, Wang Shan, who was appointed as the governor of Jinshan City, began to build Jinshan's port and wharf facilities early when he was initially planning.

So, when the first wave of immigrants from Daming landed, they stepped on a very solid cement pavement of the port.

The entire Jinshan Port wharf covers an area of about 30,000 acres.

This is completely based on the construction of the superport of later generations.

Of course, due to the times and technical reasons, the 30,000 acres of planned land of the port have not been fully constructed. But this does not mean that it will not be built in the future, at least it will be planned out first and the land will be occupied.

When the province is to be expanded in the future, it will be troublesome if the land is not enough.

The ragged Ming immigrants stepped out of the cabin and stepped on the land of the Americas.

The faces and eyes of each of them showed confusion and fear about the future.

Think about it, according to the thinking of the Orientals, people leave their hometowns and are cheap.

Especially when they left the Ming Dynasty so far away and came to the Americas, it is normal for them to have no bottom about the future.

There was no welcome, no ceremony, and only a thousand-man army of the empire greeted these Ming immigrants.

Wang Shan also came to the port with his guards from his busy schedule.

He also wanted to see and see what the Ming people of this era were like.

However, after seeing these Ming immigrants, Wang Shan was very disappointed.

You don't see a hint of confidence in their faces, except for nervousness, the fear of the unknown.

This is completely different from the Chinese people of the empire.

At the same time, these immigrants from the Ming Dynasty were in tattered clothes. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a beggar, not the kind of serious immigrant.

Don't say it. Wang Shan's idea is really correct.

At that time, the contract signed by Zhao Hongyu and Zhu Shangwu was to let Zhu Shangwu gather the bankrupts in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the displaced people affected by drought and floods, and then the government came forward to integrate and sell them to the empire.

These people have lost their homes and the environment they depend on for their livelihoods, and have had to flee to the big cities in order to survive.

However, because these people have no source of income, they can become very unstable when they enter the vicinity of the big cities.

Often, in order to survive, these people will take risks or even rebel against the government. Even gathering together. Pull up the pole and attack the town to become a thief.

Therefore, for those who can eliminate these unstable factors and make a deal at the same time, Zhu Shangwu and the bigwigs of the Ming Dynasty will certainly not refuse.

Therefore, Zhu Shangwu's holy decree immediately started from Beijing and went all the way to the southern cities. The beggars, the outcasts, and even the prisoners were sold to the Empire.

And it is precisely for this reason that these immigrants are not likely to wear gorgeous costumes.

After all. They are all people at the bottom of society.

But anyone who has a little family background will never come to the Americas.

The people of the Ming Dynasty in this era have a dark understanding of the Americas, and they don't know anything.

Not to mention. After the integration from the Ming Dynasty, these people were to be sent to Kyushu. Then board the ship from Kyushu and sail for almost four months to reach Kanayama.

In this process, God knows whether the road will encounter the wind and waves at sea. And then he lost his life.

Therefore, the people of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be secretive about the Americas.

Of course. The people sent to the Americas by the imperial court were all groups that had an unstable factor in stability. Therefore, this matter was not resisted by the squires and officials, but they were very supportive.

The reason is simple, if the prisoners, beggars and homeless people are disposed of, then they will be safe.

It's just that the poor Ming people who were forced to board the ship by the Ming saber and gun, were sent to Kyushu, and then embarked on the ship to the Americas under the control of the Kyushu army.

When I left the Ming Land, these people on the shore cried miserably, as if they were going to hell.

Of course, for them, going to the Americas is basically no different than sending them to death.

And many people also know that they have been sold to the Song Empire by the Ming Dynasty, and it can be said that they have become other people's slaves since they stepped on the ship to Kyushu.

Zhao Hongyu also declared it to the outside world.

Miserable and miserable, this is a portrayal of the attitude of the Ming people who immigrated to the Americas.

Looking at the immigrants who were trembling like quails, lowering their heads and not daring to look left and right, Wang Shan sighed in his heart.

However, when he turned his head and thought about it, Wang Shan was very happy again.

The immigrants are honest and good, at least they are easy to manage.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the escort officer asks to see you!"

"Bring him here."

On dozens of sea boats, migrants are still landing one after another, and they can't finish coming for a while.

Wang Shan is not in a hurry, and he doesn't care about this time anyway.

A young man in the black uniform of the empire was led by the guards to Wang Shan.

Wang Shan sat on the war horse and didn't move, just glanced at the young man.

The young man stood still in front of Wang Shan, saluted a modern military salute, and then straightened his body and said loudly: "Luo Cheng, the escort officer of the Kyushu Temporary Immigration Bureau, has seen the Governor, and this time his subordinates transported a total of 4,362 Ming immigrants from Kyushu, and the actual number is 4,213 people......

After a four-month voyage, more than 100 people were lost.

This kind of loss is a lot for Wang Shan.

After all, that's more than a hundred lives.

However, it is a miracle that more than 100 people were lost on an ocean voyage for people of this era.

In this era, ocean navigation is not as comfortable as it is in modern times.

All kinds of diseases, hunger, and wind and waves can be fatal during the voyage.

"How can you lose so many people?"

Wang Shan asked coldly.

The escort officer hurriedly replied: "Thirty-two of them are infected with diseases and cannot be treated. The rest were killed by the suppression of riots during the voyage......"

Wang Shan heard this. His brow furrowed slightly.

What, there are still people who dare to riot!

It's damn good.,Just now I was thinking about these wise people being honest and easy to manage.。

Could it be that these Ming people are the kind of people who are uneasy?

"What the hell is going on? Why do they riot? ”

Regarding this question, Wang Shan hurriedly asked.

He had to understand what these Ming people were like.

In this way, it is better to manage them yourself.

Wang Shan didn't want these immigrants to have any impact on the stability of the Jinshan region after they came to the Americas.

Even if these people are of Chinese descent, that won't work.

In short, the stability of the empire is above all else. No one can have an impact.

For those hidden dangers that will have a destructive impact, Wang Shan does not mind using thunderous means to suppress them.

You must know that if the empire is unstable, there is no way to develop. And if the empire does not develop, the safety of people like them will not be guaranteed.

Immediately afterwards, the escort officer talked about the incident during the voyage.

The escort officer's account was very concise and not so verbose.

Within fifteen minutes, Wang Shan understood everything.

"If the repression is good, these people are the unstable factor. Let them live here, and it will have an impact on us. It seems that for these immigrants. We're going to have to take a good look at it. ”

Wang Shan nodded at the escort officer.

"Your Excellency Governor, we have screened these immigrants during the voyage and compiled them into a book."

The young escort officer reached into his arms. I pulled out a notebook.

The guard took the notebook, then walked up to Wang Shan and handed it to Wang Shan.

Wang Shan opened the notebook and looked at it roughly, then closed it and held it in his hand.

"Well, you're doing a great job. I'll make a note of it for you. However, you also need to write a report on this matter, and then go back to Kyushu and submit it, so that the immigration bureau can take this issue seriously. Da Ming even sold prisoners to us. Let's be careful. ”

The young escort officer stood quietly, listening to Wang Shan's words.

"Alright, you go and get some rest. When will you return? ”

After Wang Shan finished speaking, he asked.

The escort officer replied, "Three days later." ”

Nodding, Wang Shan said, "There is a big wine list in the port, which is under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Palace, so you can live wherever you want." I'll send someone, and if there's anything missing, tell the guy I've sent, and he'll take care of it for you. ”

The escort saluted, then turned to leave.

After a little more than four months at sea, it is indeed necessary to take a break.

However, three days of rest is certainly not enough, but what can he do?

For these staff of the Kyushu Immigration Bureau, Wang Shan has no heart to pay attention to it.

He turned his head sideways, handed the roster in his hand to his adjutant, and at the same time ordered: "Immediately screen according to the records on the roster, gather the displaced people and bankrupt people together, let them live in the resettlement camp in the north of the city first, and after half a month, if there is no problem, they will be given land." “

The adjutant looked at the roster in his hand and asked, "What about the beggars and prisoners?" “

Wang Shan sneered: "The beggar is a little lazy, and the beggar takes care of it alone." At the same time, sending people to carry out propaganda and brainwashing, I think it should not be a big problem to transform. But those prisoners can't do it, I heard that these people actually oppressed those ordinary people during the voyage, I don't want them to become a tyrant in Jinshan City in the future. “

Wang Shan's words were understood by his adjutant.

"Solitary confinement while letting the chengguan manage them. I don't believe I can't clean them up, and I don't look at what kind of place this is. The adjutant said his plan with a dark smile.

When Wang Shan heard this, he smiled encouragingly.

Receiving Wang Shan's orders, the Imperial soldiers surrounded the emigrants.

Those Ming immigrants who were already panicked became even more panicked when they saw this battle.

Grandfather!

Mother!

Xi'er!

Father! Father!

My son!

For a while, all kinds of noisy voices rang out chaotically. (To be continued......)
